Well, you'll already have seen some shots from Cosford, so you'll know what the weather was like for most of the show. As we drove up there was a 600' cloud base, and 2km visibility. This improved during the day, and we actually got some sunburn in the afternoon allowing a full display by Peter Teichmann's P-40 and the 2Excel Extra 300's. For the most part however it was low cloud, and hazy......oh well Roll Eyes

Nice to meet up with Craig as well, albeit briefly Wink

Here are some shots then, a restricted Hawk display, and an earth shattering show from the Eurofighter. The Reds did their best given the visibility, and then all bets were off due to 2 intrusions in the display area from microlights Shocked

Not bad at all.

I'd have been particularly pleased with doing that well on the Hawk in those conditions!

Thanks chaps.

If I was a hacker though, then this would be an example of a brute force attack. I simply kept taking shots and hoped for the best Grin

There was a little application of science following some very useful tips from others, but essentially I used the continuous shooting mode and a large memory card to see what I could capture Roll Eyes

I agree with the others. I would have been very pleased with these. Wink

The vaportrails make the Typhoon llok amazing! Aweful weather perhaps, but you'd never have taken a shot like this in clear blue skies... Wink

Hi Mark, I got the 400d in the end, but just went for the kit lens and the 90-300 EF. The bank balance wouldn't stretch any further Wink

Yes I used it for these shots, this was the first real outing so it was a little bit trial and error, but I'm fairly please with the hit rate.
